Parmesan Cauliflower Casserole Recipe

This cauliflower casserole was a big hit at my book club last week. It super easy to make and you will fall in love with it as my guests did. It works as a main course or even as a side dish.

I make it with pre-washed cauliflower that I get in a bag at the store, but you can quickly make it with cauliflower cut at home. This is where I save time and avoid extra messes in the kitchen before my family gets home. Those tiny bits of cauliflower get everywhere, and I only have so much time before my daughter, and husband get home to make dinner.

Cauliflower Casserole Healthy Benefits

Cauliflower is an amazingly nutritious veggie that my family does not like on its own. I get it because it smells funny and I am not that big of a fan myself. I have to fool my mind into thinking it is something else. This cauliflower casserole makes me forget I am eating cauliflower. I recently made this delicious Cauliflower Dessert Rice Pudding recipe to mask the flavor.

Let’s talk about why you should be eating cauliflower even if you don’t love it. It has cancer-fighting properties. It contains something called sulforaphane, a sulfur compound that has been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth. According to the National Cancer Institute:3 “Indoles and isothiocyanates have been found to inhibit the development of cancer in several organs in rats and mice, including the bladder, breast, colon, liver, lung, and stomach.”

Cauliflower is an essential source of dietary fiber for digestive health. High fiber diets are supposed to help lower cholesterol. Most of us need more nutrients in our body to function better. Eating cauliflower regularly is a simple way to get these much-needed nutrients into your body. For instance, one serving of cauliflower contains 77 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. It’s also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, and manganese.

How to Make a Cauliflower Casserole

To make this yummy cauliflower casserole recipe, you will need either 2 bag of Fresh prewashed Cauliflower or 2 heads of Cauliflower that you will chop into bite-sized cauliflower pieces. To give the casserole it’s cheesy consistency, use low-calorie Sour Cream and shredded Parmesan Cheese. To make it crispy, I used Panko Bread Crumbs sprinkled on top. To give the cauliflower casserole some flavor, I used paprika, Turkish Chili Pepper, and chopped green pepper, with Himalayan Sea Salt. You want to bake the parmesan cauliflower casserole at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

*** I am not a doctor and cannot say that any of these health benefits are real. I have done some research and it seems that these are the health benefits, but I cannot be certain.
